Virus (Sequel To 'A Malfunction?')(Bonnie x Reader)

Chapter 15: The Wrong Attitude

"What if Bonnie crumbles like he always does? That'll make him more vulnerable to more violent outbursts."

"Bonnie doesn't always crumble, what are you talking about? You do it more than him."

"He's already done it in his time back, y/n. He isn't the same as he was all those years ago."

There's silence for a moment as you most likely glare at him. "You know, for someone who died in his sleep for twice the amount of time he was meant to because of something he had no control over, woke up in a garbage dump, found his way back all by himself, learnt that his people are suffering from this virus, found out that all his friends are dead with no chance to mourn them and is now infected himself – all within the span of a little over a week – he's doing a damn good job."

"Don't underestimate this. He's unpredictable and if he does anything to hurt you, I need to be there to help. If you two are away then who knows how quickly you can end up dead."

"Are you serious? Are you listening to yourself – or me? Has everything I've told you just gone into one ear and out the other?!" There's silence for a second. "I am not going to repeat myself again. Do not baby me and stop sounding like Desmond. You have zero experience with this virus and the only sort of information you have is from the dumb news media who just give you the worst of the worst for views and drama and entertainment with only a sliver of true facts. You saw them when Bonnie came back after all this time! They didn't focus on how good it is for him to be back. All they did is focus on saying that he's just only going to be the final nail in the coffin for animatronics when he inevitably gets infected – and you know damn well they're going to be swarming us and him because guess what finally happened!! I'm done. You better just go back to staring at the TV and leave Bonnie alone because if you dare say or do anything to him then you will have to answer to me – and I could not give two shades of crap that you're my dad. I will rain hell down on you so don't do anything stupid."

~~~~~~~~~~

Your dad is about to say something but you cut him off and walk away, not giving him any other chance. You storm out of the living room and past Bonnie, not noticing him still standing behind the wall. He merely stares at you for a moment before moving as you head up the stairs with clenched fists and stiff movements. Before you get too far away, he rushes up behind you and grabs your shoulders, spinning you around to face him. You have a very aggressive frown for a split second before you relax to a resting face, now looking simply fed up with everything.

"How long have you been up, honey?" you ask.

He merely shakes his head and wraps you in a hug, mumbling into the top of your head. He doesn't want to tell you that he heard a little bit of the argument for some reason, maybe because he doesn't want you any more upset. All he does is hug you to his chest.

You sigh and pull back. "How're you feeling?"

He nods with a smile rather than saying actual words but he can see the scepticism flash in your eyes.

"You know I love you, Bonnie." You start fiddling with the wires in his neck, untangling them.

"Of course." He gives you a look. "I love you as well."

You nod and tidy his outfit slightly, shifting and pulling things, but he grabs both of your hands so he can put them around his neck.

"Why don't we...go visit Roxy and all." He pulls you close by your waist. "Together."

"You sure? I mean you were told to rest and just got out of hospital yesterday."

"I'm sure. I want to see everyone with you and to talk with Harry."
